Started competing at the tender age of 12 with a persistent attitude to keep getting better. He eventually was picked up by one of the Bay Area’s finest crews: Rock Force Crew. His status in the Dance world grew to an international and professional level earning him credits like having a lead role in Cirque Du Soleil: The Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour. He has also not only toured worldwide but competed, judged, and taught. He gives credit to teachers like PopTart, Skeeter Rabbit, Suga Pop for his growth.
